Elana received a SMS from Dean in Nelspruit. Dean told Elana all about the community watch that he is spearheading. He and his team set out to specifically protect animals in the area.

"The thing that makes Nelspruit so great is nature. There are so many beautiful nature reserves, mountains, and animals around - and we are all proud of it. If you help protect the animals and nature you actually help everyone as well," he added
